I personally like foam pressure to keep them in place and I stay away from glue.

yup, foam pressure is the way to go!
My avatar is my first attempt at making my own frame, red felt over foam so the glass puts just enough pressure on the points and holds them in place.

I too would suggest using the thick foam with a piece of felt over that to hold in your points. Just a warning though, don't use the thin colored foam inserts on any Bone or Shell items.

Check out this thread and you'll see why.
